Binchou-tan is a really cute iyashikei anime from the 00s with short episodes, I have rewatched it many times. I downloaded the raws of the manga from Perfect Dark a long time ago but it doesn't have furigana so I couldn't read the moonrunes.

Iyashikei is pretty much all I watch now. Aria is super comfy.

Disappointment anon 4/16/25 (Wed) 23:32:31 No.594 [Reply]

Hating a manga/anime is one thing, but what's much worse is being DISAPPOINTED with one.
There's a lot you like and a lot you dislike….
Post shit that disappointed you, preferably with your reasoning.
For me, Rosavam was a disappointment. Incoming wall of text that I wrote down like two months ago when I read the manga.

I have not seen this or read the manga in a while and they both are heavy with teen melodrama, although the movie more-so. It does feel that this heavy soppy melodrama does overload the more subtle points the manga seemed to be making. I would have preferred it if this story did not go in a romantic direction, or possibly moves in that way but reveals it to be yet another case of miscommunication. What the manga had to say about communication seemed a lot more interesting than the typical anti-bullying narrative in soppy high school melodramas. The suicide scene was totally uncalled for and just shoved in to gouge more tears from the audience. Where the manga and the movie are at their best is seeing the MC struggling to communicate with someone who does not use verbal language and vice versa. Instead we get sidetracked in melodrama. Sure the movie is worse at this, but even those encounter scenes were fascinating to watch. At the end of the day, animation has to be marketed to someone so turning it into a sloppy teen drama makes sense.

without a doubt the 2004 reboot of tetsujin. i had very high expectations after watching the giant robo ova, i loved how it looked and i loved how old school tetsujin and the other mechas/villains looked!!
It started pretty good but as the series went on they weren't able to handle both the main story with the sublots introduced in every new episode, resulting in a messy story without a satisfing ending.
also they glaze the hell out of tetsujin only for it to get wrecked immediately by the new villain's gimmick.
I don't think you shouldn't watch it cause some episodes are really good, but overall it doesn't know what to do with itself.

Funny you say that, it's my favorite adaptation of Hellsing despite it's shortcomings. But I do agree the second half is weaker, but you can tell it was meant to be part of a larger story that was cut down when it turned out it wouldn't be renewed for a continuation due to low ratings (hell, there's this early animation sequence that even adapted the Brazil sequence), that's the impression I kinda got from the finale. You can tell Konaka was going to make a much longer story in a similar style to his other works.

I actually really liked this adaptation it felt very close to the writing style of Yokoyama in his manga but yes it's nothing alike Giant Robo (and nothing will ever be as good). It's definitely not a show for everyone and probably one of the most story focused Super Robot show since the combat isn't the priority and Shotaro doesn't win a lot. There's also an original movie that is more action focused so maybe give that one a try.

I can understand not enjoying Gundam; most shows are flawed with odd pacing, and sometimes it can be hard to understand who is from which faction and what is the overall goal of the show (Gundam Victory). I personally enjoy Gundam from a universe perspective as the shows aren't the most entertaining thing to watch, but there's great world-building and cool characters, mobile suits, and so on (and often an amazing soundtrack, shoutout to Victory once again).
I also understand your hate for Newtype. I didn't like it at first; it felt a bit too sci-fi and convenient for the plot, but I eventually got used to it.

I also would like to say that Gundam ZZ isn't a good show, it's boring, most of the cast is boring, and the only important moment gets ruined by the ending. It's a show where nothing matters, and it just exists to remove everything Zeta created so that Tomino could make his movie sequel to 79. I'm sorry ZZ fans, but to me, the love this show received recently just seems like contrarian revisionism…

it actively depresses me to see how little people talk about her now, except for that "retro anime" tweet where they posted a scene from one of the earlier episodes where she threatens to blackmail the computer club with pictures of them "assaulting" mikuru. I remember getting to that scene with one of my friends (who hadn't seen the show) and they're like "??????" but stuck with it and they lost their mind during the reveal. Our schedules don't match up as much anymore so we haven't finished our watch-together yet (but we will!!!)

It's weird to think that the show will turn 20 soon. And hell, the books are almost 25… I'm glad the author is writing again but I wish he would pick up the pace a bit, I want more Haruhi. Then again, maybe a full on revival in this day and age would be a bad thing.

I remember getting episodes of Zeta Gundam off Kazaa and it being like 40 mb per episode in .asf format. Which honestly didn't sacrifice too much for the broadcast version. It's genuinely crazy how fast things imprived capacity wise.

Gotta love that technique when they show something and then "guess" what the viewers are thinking — often word for word. Only happens in anime for some reason.

So far Vividred has been delivering on the seriousness part despite the genre, both in tech and in drama. And it's funny how all military actions here are strangely reminiscent of NGE. Plus it's definitely thread-related, which is a cherry on top.

Azumanga Daoih & Nichijou anon 6/9/24 (Sun) 03:38:24 No.324 [Reply]

Or, Kiyohiko Azuma & Keiichi Arawi - mangakas who the best SoL/CGDCT stories. Unlike a lot of modern, seasonal anime - these two shows are timeless and can be enjoyed by anyone, anywhere. I've tried to watch other SoL anime, some I've enjoyed momentarily, while others I completely forgot I had watched after a while. But there's something very special about Azumanga and Nichijou that have stayed with me. I think it's the relatability of the characters, the comfortable, comedic nature of the shows, as well as the "cuteness" of it all. What I've found most important is that the girls in both shows feel real - they're not written as tropes with flat personalities. I'd love to know if anyone else has similar thoughts or has some good CGDCT/SoL shows that have gone unnoticed.

I did not care for Nichijou, but I loved Azu and Yotsuba. I could not get into the main characters outside of the little professor girl, her caretaker, and the cat. I would have watched an entire show about those three, but I couldn't care about the other characters so I dropped it.

I finished watching it a week ago, I almost teared up at the end. Made me reminisce about my own graduation a bit. Didn't even feel watching anything else after it that evening until the emotions settled.
I knew very little about Azumanga before watching, I tend to watch anime going in completely blind. I expected more of an absurd comedy anime than a more pure CGDCT SoL, with how there was an uptick in unhinged zoomer memes involving Azumanga in the past few years and from that popular "Hello everynyan/ Oh my gah" clip. It didn't feel like a drag to watch either despite the 26 episodes. I can see why it's in so many favourite lists.
Please don't hit on my head with a rock

K-On is one of my favourite anime and the definitive CGDCT and SoL anime in my head

When a girl starts shouting or talking loudly just to make a funny scene at least it's cute, when a guy does it it's just annoying. All the animes that I've enjoyed with a significant male presence didn't have much of it, I also feel that a story about a hikikomori would work much better if it was something serious. I can still give the novel or the manga a chance because there's no sound in those so I cringe substantially less…

Has anyone read the author's new "reboot" of welcome to the NHK? I remember his afterword in the original novel where he talks about despite the success that years later he was still a NEET, so I'm curious if that remained the case and especially his perspective on the change in otaku culture from heisei to reiwa.
